Voting, democracy, and elections; three words it’s fair to say that you wouldn’t associate with the younger classes of Ireland. It is difficult enough to ensure that the middle aged people in the country vote; never mind the young! However, last year saw a change in the norm of this country, as hundred upon thousands of young people descended onto the voting booths of this country to ensure their voices were cast in the marriage equality referendum. Many people; experts, pundits and the like, can put the overwhelming yes vote down to politicians, but it would be foolish to argue that anybody else but students had the most important say […]

A job in a field that you’re interested in with a nice boss, friendly colleagues, a decent pay check and the weekends off. Sounds great but what if your boss gets replaced, you need to work additional hours independently or your wages get reduced? Will it remain your dream job or will these external factors knock off the initial gleam of your once glittering career choice? So, does the dream job exist? The majority of people will answer no to this question after a moment’s thought and there are a few reasons why. Firstly, if […]

While the times are always changing, there are some timeless rules on how to act around people, here we will look at a few things to consider if you are socially interacting in 2016. DO: Let them know you will be late – on time If you are due to meet someone at 1 o’clock, a text at 12.59 to say you won’t be there on time is not necessary – they have that much figured out.
